Flint Bros. find it pretty difficult
to distribute the two clocks that they
offered to those customers who would
correctly guess the number of seeds in
a certain squash. There were 233
seeds in the squash. Stillman Kent
and Van Carpenter both guessed 234,
so they will have to divide the French
clock between them. Mrs. Pembroke
Nichols guessed 235 and Miss Mary
White 23l, so the second prize, a nickel
clock, must some way be divided be-
tween them. The highest guess was
728 and the lowest 20.

1uE STATE OF NEVADA.

Surveyor General Preble submits
his report for the last two years
showinga good general condition OF
the State. 1t is full Of information
and has many valuable tables ,one of
which seems to show that the rain
fall is increasing. He condemns
the waste of water, recommends a
regular system for the use of water,
the erection of reservoirs to save
the Spring foods, an Irrigation
Commission, careful surveys and
announcement for artesian wells.
lie complains of the General Gov
eminent for Withholding patents on
lands granted to the State and sold
by it to settlers. They also now re
quire proofs that land selected is
not mineral bearing, and asks the
State to get proofs on ali lands Sc
lected since 1872. General Preble
says the force in his Office Is too
small and that fire proof vault is
needed TO protect the records,
which are the only proofs in exist
ence Of transactions involving mill
lions of acres Of land and the homes
Of thousands of people The State
sold 107, BIG acres in 1885, aud 316,-
3S5 in 1886, making a total Of 0i3,-
70l acres, giving receipts amounted
for principal and interest to S23o,-
42S. In real property, Washoe is
By far the leading county and Elko
In personal property. Washoe $
real estate is valued at s., S64, 420
and personal property at 81 as, 515;
Elkos at 81 ,533, l53 and $,947,0l6.
Last session an Act was passed
appropriating 81 $50 to purchase a
safe for the JOINT use of the Secre-
tary of State Office and Land Of
fee. The Governor, Controller and
Treasurer were constituted Board
to attend to the business, and
make a report at the present session.
The safe was never purchased, and
should o fire destroy the Land Of
fee records of Nevada, the loss
could never be made good, and a
large amosnt Of blame would rest
on the shoulders of the Board.

very properly remarks:

Ing over the land, swiftly followed
by the sun of prosperity already

its approaching glory. The "old
timer" like the old war horse as he
smells the battle, again Frances to
the front, full of the FIRE of ambi-
ton which in his youth sent him
forth to blaze the trail for civlllza-
tion and to found an empire, and,
although lacking the vigor OF his
young manhood, he is yet hest
within himself for the accomplish
ment of his high mission, and the
Legislature should see to it that on
this auspieisus dawn every proper
assistance is extended to him, and
the younger man who has linked
his fortune with him in developing
